About this house rental
Relax in this cozy bunkhouse within walking distance of an old west town. Enjoy the incredible recreation of the San Luis Valley. Ski "The most snow in Colorado" at Wolf Creek Ski Area, just 47.5 miles away. World class fly fishing just minutes away on the Rio Grande River, nearby lakes and San Juan Mountain streams. Great Sand Dunes National Park is only an hour a way - beautiful. Mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing and more! Try Quincy's steak house - it's a Colorado original.
Our favorite fishing holes:
Rock Creek Campground - this is only 20 minutes or so from the house and is stunningly beautiful. A picnic alone is worth the trip. Driving Directions: In Monte Vista, CO, take State 15 south 2.4 miles to Rock Creek Campground sign. Turn right go 2.5 miles to a "T" intersection. Turn left onto County Rd. 28 and go 10 miles to campground sign. Turn left into campground. NOTE: County Rd. 28 is dirt after 3.1 miles and single-lane in places.

The Rio Grande should be just over peak flow so fishing should be great anywhere. Here is a nice map of the public lake and river fishing in the area.

If you really want to catch some fish and have a great day I recommend https://www.wolfcreekanglers.com/ Contact Rick Walker at 530-318-5694, They do both float and wade trips on the Rio and NEW Rick told me they just struck a deal with a property owner 20 miles South of Monte Vista with over a mile of private frontage on the Alamosa River. Rick said it is special so you might want to give him a call. I haven't been down to the private land yet, but plan to go.

Great family lodging, loved the easy check in. Super clean and lacked for nothing. We'll definitely stay here again. Absolutely worthy of 5 stars!

Although we were on a work trip, “relaxed” was definitely the feeling when staying at the bunkhouse. We settled right in and found the historic structure to be a cozy, clean, and quiet stay, with all the conveniences of Monte Vista before us. The sauna was an unexpected bonus on top of an already welcomed and comfortable stay. Thanks Tom, can’t wait to come back and try it out for fun.
